Corn Relish Recipes

From: jp

The following recipes are from the 1925 edition of the Settlement Cook Book. I don't know if the mustard is prepared mustard or ground mustard powder. My guess is prepared mustard.

Corn Relish I

1 qt. raw corn
3 cups cabbage
1 cup stalk celery
2 red peppers, seeded
2 green peppers, seeded
1 onion
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons mustard
3 cups vinegar

Grind or chop the first 6 ingredients, add the rest of the ingredients, cook until corn is tender and bottle and seal.

Corn Relish II

20 ears corn
1 medium head cabbage
4 green peppers
6 red peppers
4 onions, chopped
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 cup salt
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon tumeric
1/4 lb. mustard
1 qt. white vinegar

Cut corn from cob; cabbage, onion and pepper through food grinder. Mix flour, tumeric and mustard. Stir in the vinegar gradually at first, then let come to a boil. Add the rest of the ingredients and boil 1/2 hour. Bottle, add more vinegar if necessary. Seal.
